Newbie From Perth

Hey all,

Thought I'd sign up here as tomorrow I fly out to Victoria to pick up my 2000 Skyline R34 25GT from a dealership and driving it back home. Probably would be cheaper to ship it back to WA, but the flight over there is booked and my dad is insisting that he can make the overall trip more cost-effective, plus we've been dying to do a decent road trip for years, so any excuse will do. I've loved Skylines ever since I saw the '99 GT-R in 2 Fast 2 Furious (yes I'm guilty of being a fan of those films). I was only able to afford a 25GT, but I'm looking forward to driving it nevertheless, as my previous car was/still is a knackered old '92 Honda Civic sedan.

Nice going mate. Looks like a solid, clean car. I bought my R33 back from Queensland to Adelaide last week (having only just bought mine to). Just be prepared to experience something else when it comes to speed and performance But for god sakes, don't let your mates DRIVE IT

I test drove a 4-door version of the 25GT in Malaga some weeks before. Compared to my tiny little Honda... It was like upgrading from a horse-and-cart to a Bugatti Veyron SuperSport. When I was trolling the carsales.com lists I was amazed to find that the GT-T and the GT variants were being listed for very similiar prices in some cases. I can't even begin to imagine how powerful a full blown GT-R feels.

Driving the car back to WA is going to be an experience for sure.
